    I have used the new sarge installer alot in the last week and am pretty
    impressed. Thanks to all responsible.
    A few things that seem different are
    1) the way discs are labeled in lilo
    for example:
    /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
    I am guessing because Debian is the Universal OS and all the different
    platforms it supports has warranted this change from /dev/hda1.
    I need to figure out how to get lilo to pick up and boot /dev/hda2.
    I ran lilo after editing lilo.conf- it didnt pick up m$ partition and
    commented about name change because I used /dev/hda2 versus
    .../target0/lun0/disc
    Where are docs about /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc naming
    scheme?

    2)I was surprised to see lilo start straight way without any prompt nor
    any delay. maybe I did something wrong :-)
